VOLUME 35, NUMBER 32 • AUgUst 7, 2012
By Iris GravilleSpecial to the Islands’ Weekly
No one disputes the intrepidness of the handful of Lopez Island artists who opened Chimera Gallery in 1987.
“We all wanted to make art, not run a business,” says Pamela Maresten, one of the co-op’s founders.
Chimera’s business model – a worker-owned cooperative – eased their leap from art studios to ledger sheets.
“Putting your work in a regular gallery cuts into your earnings horrendous-ly,” Maresten explains. “We preferred to trade our time to get a little more for our art. This was a way to make it go.”
The 25 candles on the anni-versary cake at the Chimera Artists’ Cooperative annu-al meeting this year were proof that the approach has succeeded.
For potter Nancy Bingham, selling her art was a necessity back in 1987.
“I was trying to make a liv-ing through art and needed a place to show my work,” she says. “We were looking for venues and it seemed we
had enough good art and good artists to put together a gallery.”
Although no longer active in Chimera, Bingham devot-ed herself to its first 10 years of operation.
“I liked the grass roots way we started things,” she says. “We made all those decisions about how to run it, the hours and what to call it.”
Bingham remembers much debate over “what to call it,” and the list of potential names that includ-ed Art Throbs Cooperative and Main Artery – A Cooperative.
“Nobody could pronounce Chimera,” Bingham says; Maresten, who’s credited with the moniker, recalls it barely got majority approv-al. Patrons still stumble over
the word, even with the pronunciation guide on the cooperative’s business card (ki-meer-a) and definition (a thing of mixed character). But, it fit.
“This is exactly how it started,” Bingham says. “All these different people who had different ideas and different ways of doing things.”
Diana Bower, creator of the gallery’s logo, was among the founders and remains active today. Her linoleum block print – a fan-ciful griffin with the head of a lion, body of a goat, and long, curving tail – symbol-izes the diversity of artists and personalities from the cooperative’s beginning through the present.
Maresten and Bingham recall that in those early
days, gallery operations were, well, “of mixed char-acter.” Members met often, and whoever showed up set the agenda and figured out who would facilitate and who would take minutes. There was no board of direc-tors, and policies and proce-dures were fluid. Any artist who was willing to staff the gallery could join. Now an elected group of five over-sees day-to-day operations and juries in new work, and a written contract delineates membership responsibili-ties and benefits.
Since the beginning, members have jotted notes in a journal during their shifts staffing the gallery, an 800-square-foot store-front just two doors from Holly B’s Bakery in Lopez Village. A leaf through the pages reveals this appraisal: “Soooo many people are here now, browse, browse, browse. If only we could live on compliments. It would be hard to make change though. Imagine trying to cash a standing ovation.”

By Chom GreacenSpecial to the Islands’ Weekly
This article is the last of the three-part series on the planned exports of coal and tar sands oil exports through the waters surrounding our islands.
The proposed plans to ship 48 million tons of coal and 160 million barrels of tar sands oil each year using our waterways is clearly a concern to many of us living here in the beau-tiful San Juans. But how do we make our concerns heard? This article hopes to help answer this question.
First, let’s start with some facts.
We, the residents in San Juan County, have no direct say in the decisions by the Canadian authorities to per-mit the planned pipeline and Vancouver port expansions to vastly increase the flow volume of tar sands oil from Alberta into oil tankers.
Though dredging of waterways to accommodate larger tankers and potential spills in the Salish Sea may affect the orca population, marine and shoreline ecol-ogy as well as our tourism-based economy, the tar sands oil exports remain strictly Canadian business as long as tankers don’t cross the maritime national boundaries.
We do have a stand-ing on the issues of coal exports, however. The plan to build one of the largest coal export facilities on the continent at Cherry Point, Bellingham, is under review right now. One of the main purposes of environmental review process is citizen involvement.
For the Gateway Pacific
Terminal project at Cherry Point to go through, the proj-ect developers, SSA Marine, must obtain various permits and approvals from various agencies including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Whatcom County Council, and Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The Army Corps of Engineers has determined that the GPT project has significant impacts and will require an Environmental Impact Statement. It will conduct the scoping pro-cess and complete the EIS, likely in collaboration with Whatcom County and the Washington Department of Ecology.
The scoping process is an important one for us, concerned residents.This is where our inputs are sought and the scope of impacts established for the EIS. SSA Marine will of course argue for as nar-row a scope possible, lim-iting to mostly immediate impacts of expanding the existing terminal. Residents of Whatcom County, areas around other proposed ter-minals and along the railway routes have organized and voiced their concerns, most-ly about land and shoreline impacts. It will be up to us to make sure our concerns
about impacts of shipping through our waters are also included because no one else will.
The timing for the scop-ing process has yet to be determined but will likely start very soon in the fall and last 90 to 120 days. It is time to get organized and
ready.Friends of the
San Juans has been working with other groups in both the U.S. and Canada to build a coalition to focus on shipping
issues, called the Safe Shipping Alliance of the Salish Sea. A few months ago, Orcas launched the No COALition and been
active in getting Orcas residents informed. In solidarity with Orcas, sev-eral of us Lopezians have star ted the Lopez No COALition (www.lopezno-coalition.org). Waldron is also thinking along a simi-lar line and hopefully other islands will follow suit.
Having a name is a good start, but real action and mobilization need to follow. This is where you come in. All are invited to start con-versations, join, help shape and organize meetings and activities on Lopez. As we gear up for the scoping pro-cess, here are some of the upcoming events:
August 28 at the library: Film “A Dirty Business, Clean Coal & the Battle for our Energy Future,” fol-lowed by a discussion led by Lopezian San Olson.
September 9 at the Lopez Center, Friends of the San Juans is bringing leading scientists/experts to Lopez to share information about impacts of coal/tar sands oil shipping through our waters.
September 23 at the Lopez Center: Film “A Sea Change, Imagine a World Without Fish,” followed by a discussion led by Russel Barsh.
You can visit www.lopeznocoalition.org to be informed of activities and read past articles in this series and more.

Elephant Revival comes to Woodmen Hall, August 15, 7:30 p.m. for their sixth performance on the island.
Tickets at the door are $15 for adults, ages 12 to 16 are $8 and kids 12 and under are free.
Elephant Revival, self-described as a neo-acoustic transcendental folk quintet from Nederland Colo., play
a vast repertoire of original material. In one show, the quintet can be seen delv-ing into original folk pieces mixed with traditional style ballads, Scottish/Celtic fiddle tunes, psychedelic country, indie rock, power-ful reggae grooves, 40s/50s jazz standards and an occa-sional hip-hop beat amongst other styles.
“They are also wonder-ful conscious human beings that care deeply about our planet,” Sue DuMond, pre-senter of the Home on the Grange shows. “That joy and hope and love of life comes out through the deep and soothing songwriting of
all five members. They also can get you up to dance!”
The five musicians in Elephant Revival are Sage Cook (banjo, guitar, man-dolin, tenor banjo, bass and fiddle); Bridget Law (fiddle, octave fiddle); Bonnie Paine (washboard, djembe, musi-cal saw, stompbox); Daniel Rodriguez (guitar, banjo, bass); and Dango Rose (double-bass, mandolin, banjo).
All share vocals and write songs. Paine delivers addi-tional beats via footstomps on plywood, her stockinged feet doing near jigs as her hands, encased in antique leather gloves, rub silver nickel against corrugated metal.
“I attribute their immense popularity to the fact that ‘folk based music’ is uni-versal. Elephant Revival has a unique sound that has multi-generational appeal,” said DuMond. “Their particular blend of ‘transcendental folk’ is timeless ... and harkens back to that harmonious feel good music of the 60’s like CSNY with dashes of Celtic like the Incredible Stringband, Pentangle, etc. That coupled with the current neo- folk revival of bands like the Avett Brothers, Mumford and Sons, Iron and Wine, Bon Iver etc.... bridges gaps and unites us.”

A memorial service for Virginia Ross Moore will be held at the Lopez Center Church on August 11 at 1 p.m.
Virginia was born in San Jose, Calif., on March 3, 1918 to Charles Edward Ross and Ruth Mary Dickson and was loving-ly raised amidst a large extended family. After an adventurous youth, which included auditioning as a dancer for a Busby Berkeley film, she met and married Homer Henry Moore in 1940. They settled in the San Diego suburbs and raised their three children; Michael, Kathleen (Roy Whalin) and Patricia (Alan DiBona). Virginia was involved in many community activi-ties over the years includ-ing the Cub Scouts, Blue
Birds and PTA. She was a founding member of the El Cajon chapter of the Native Daughters of the Golden West, an organization of which she was immensely proud and with which she remained involved until her death last September at age 93.
After retirement Homer and Virginia relocated to the Seattle area where Homer passed away in 1997. Virginia then moved to The Fountains at Pacific Regent in Bellevue where she spent many happy years as a member of that close-knit retirement community. In 2008 she joined her family on Lopez Island. Virginia passed away surrounded by her loving family on September 15, 2011.
Virginia is survived by her three children; her grand-
children Patrick Moore, Dawn Howard (Thom), Maureen Luna-Long (Adam Sandman), David Whalin (Annie), Ren and Kai Di Bona; and great grandchil-dren Garrett Whalin, Chloe Howard, and Aidan and Tara Sandman-Long.
Please join all who loved her as we celebrate her life on Saturday, August 11, 2012 at the Lopez Island Center Church.
The Lopez Children Center is having a new improved auction on Saturday, Aug. 18 at Woodmen Hall. It was formerly known as the Apron auction and now it is called Experience Life.
“We thought many of us have too much stuff in our lives so we are focusing on life experiences with donations from our gener-ous neighbors on Lopez,” say organizers. “We have many talented people who live on Lopez and give to nonprofits to help them survive. We will have a fun fundraiser for our community to support the Lopez Children’s Center.”
All islanders are invited to attend and there is no admission fee. There will be a variety of different items such as fine art and crafts as well as new learning experi-ences – cooking class, steelhead fishing trip, Mariners tickets, Sounder tickets, golf lessons, cheese making class, art class, overnight stay in a nice hotel, create your own earrings, sailboat cruise and food. There will also be savory and sweet appe-tizers available. Come find out what new experiences might be calling you to bid or purchase at the auction to support Lopez Children’s Center.

Obituary: Virginia Ross Moore
For potter and founding member Jeffrey Hanks, joining the cooperative helped him view himself more seriously as an artist. One of his early gallery notes suggests working there wasn’t all serious, though: “I played music
with a Friday afternoon mainland tourist guy.”
By the time the coop-erative approached its 10th year, several of the original members had moved on, and enthusiasm (and sales) waned. There were murmur-ings of closing the doors. Part of the co-op’s key to success is its good fortune to pull in the right people at the right time. Gerry Gildea, a building contractor who
also turns wood into bowls and spinning tops, sharp-ened his fellow artists’ skills at analyzing expenses and revenues.
Other newcomers such as potter Lydia Lukahnovich, painter and printmaker Sheila Simpson-Creps, stu-dio jeweler Tina Finneran, and botanical artist Linda Ann Vorobik developed a schedule of monthly art openings, a website, an
annual silent auction, and a student art show and schol-arship fund.
“We do get too focused sometimes on the busi-ness aspect,” says Maxine Bronstein, board chair and fiber artist. “We have to make money to pay the bills, but any small busi-ness in a community like this is also a community service.”
Even as she scrutiniz-
es the monthly financial reports, Bronstein acknowl-edges other returns on the cooperative’s efforts.
“There are so many cus-tomers who say it makes them feel good to come in and to see how people’s art is developing,” she said.
Step inside the gallery today and you’ll see work in a variety of media by the 22 members: paintings, original prints, hand-forged steel, glass, wood, fiber, paper, photography, jew-elry, and clay. Seventy-two strips of paper dangle from a beam like a paper wind chime, each with the name of a current or past coop-
erative member; a four-foot long chart lists more detail about their years of partici-pation. Many will join in a group show Aug. 11- Sept. 7 (visit chimeragallery.com for details).
Former members have shown work in the gallery throughout the anniversary year, including Maresten who brought in new paint-ings this spring.
“I totally appreciate the life of Chimera,” she says. “Its history is a part of the rich fabric of our commu-nity.”
– Writer and bookbinder Iris Graville joined Chimera Gallery in 2000.

Is art important to the
community?
The story behind the musicBy Lorna ReeseSpecial to the Islands’ Sounder
When classical and jazz pianist and composer Michael Golden, shown right, starts tickling the ivories on the Steinway piano at Lopez Center on Saturday, Aug. 11, it will be because of the efforts of numerous people working behind the scenes for months.
The concert itself will be an eclectic evening of piano music, including original works, jazz standards, clas-sical, popular, folk tunes and improvisation.
Director of the cre-ative arts program at Soka University of America in California, Golden has been a regular visitor to Lopez Island since marrying into the Waller family over 20 years ago and “looks for-ward to sharing an evening of music at Lopez Center.”
So why is Golden coming to Lopez Center? Because last fall Julie Van Camp asked Phyllis Nansen to help orga-nize a classical piano con-cert, according to Nansen.
“She said people had been asking why Lopez Center had not offered one for a while,” Nansen says.
Long story short: A few months later, the Steinway Piano Steering Committee – Van Camp, Nansen and Richard and Meg Singer – had a vision and a plan. They would present three concerts featuring the Henderson Memorial Piano (willed to Lopez Center when Lucille
Henderson died) and call it the Steinway Piano Series. Each of them brought their individual expertise and con-tacts to the endeavor.
Recognizing the impor-tance of making classical music affordable for every-one, the committee wanted to offer the concerts “by donation only,” so sponsors were needed to defray costs. And, says Nansen, “the com-munity responded with its usual generosity, making the first concert – Mark Salman in May – a huge success with the Lopez Center filled to capacity.”
Why would islanders con-tribute financially to a series of piano concerts?
“So anyone and everyone can afford to hear the fine musicians who want to play the exquisite instruments LCCA has been asked to steward,” say sponsors Jan and Bob Sundquist, “and so some of our local young people can have a rich expe-rience as performers before enthusiastic fans of keyboard performance art.”
“Because we strongly
support the Center,” adds John and Carol Whetten. “We think it’s a key reason why Lopez is such a great place to live, and we’ve been interested and somewhat involved with the Steinway piano since it was entrusted to the Center and our com-munity.”
“Because it’s important for Lopez Center to present a wide variety of events,” adds Nansen. ”Classical concerts are expensive to produce and we want to make them affordable for everyone. Lopezians are generous and support programs that are important to them.”
The Sundquists, Whettens and Nansens are just some of the numerous Lopezians who have contributed to the piano series. There are at least 20 more.
But there’s one more thing: The Steinway is a big part of this story. In 2007, Lucile Henderson, one of the found-ers of Camp Nor’Wester, gifted her personal Steinway grand piano, built in 1911, to the Lopez Community in her will. At Lopez Center, islanders and visiting art-ists alike have access to this fine instrument as well as to the Center’s other first-rate piano, a Chickering donated by the Rabel family. Caring for these pianos requires a maintenance fund, and Golden is offering his con-cert as a fundraiser.
Another interesting con-nection with the Henderson Memorial Piano is through
Stephen Brady, the Steinway expert who rebuilt and maintains the piano. Brady’s wife, Judith Cohen, a Seattle-based international concert pianist and recording artist, gave the gala dedication con-cert as a donation to the fund in 2007. She also per-formed a duo-piano concert with her recording partner, using both pianos at Lopez Center’s 10th anniversary celebration.
Golden’s upcoming con-cert, billed as a “tossed sum-mer salad,” is the second in the series. In September, Jovino Santos Neto, three-time Grammy nominee and a top Brazilian jazz musician, returns to Lopez. Neto donat-ed a concert to the piano fund when LCCA rebuilt the Steinway and will do so again. Again, the concert will by donation only.
“Creating Lopez Center required remarkable vision, perseverance and energy by my father-in-law, Lynn Waller, and many other Lopezians,” says Golden, “and maintaining it calls for continuing effort. I wanted to make a musical offering to concretely express my grati-tude and appreciation to the Lopez community and all the wonderful times I’ve enjoyed there over 20 years.”
And that’s why Michael Golden is coming to Lopez.
